Protesters blocked the entrance to the arena, and eventually, the Kings made the decision to shut the doors for the game, preventing the majority of ticket holders from making it into the game, and leading the Kings to play in front of an almost empty arena.

After the game, Kings owner Vivek Ranadivé addressed the crowd, recognizing the protestors rights to march and be heard, and offering a message of unity moving forward.

"On Sunday we had a horrific, horrific tragedy in our community," Ranadivé began, going on to offer sympathies to the Clark family from the entire Kings organization.

He then addressed the protests that took place outside the arena, offering a message of unity and a promise to help moving forward.

"We at the Kings recognize people's ability to protest peacefully, and we respect that. We here at the Kings recognize that we have a big platform. It's a privilege, but it's also a responsibility. It's a responsibility that we take very seriously."

"We stand here before you, old, young, black, white, brown, and we are all united in our commitment. We recognize that it's not just business as usual, and we are going to work really hard to bring everybody together to make the world a better place, starting with our own community, and we're going to work really hard to prevent this kind of tragedy from happening again."
